These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

What reviewers say
2025 Nordica Santa Ana 92
The Nordica Santa Ana 92 is an adaptable all-mountain ski crafted for off-piste terrain while remaining dependable on groomed runs. Tailored metal layering softens torsional stiffness for variable surfaces while retaining solid bite beneath the foot. A rocker profile aids maneuverability in softer snow, and the updated elastomer-infused core allows lighter skiers to bend the ski smoothly and rebound out of carved turns.
“once the edge finds the snow, it locks on like a terrier”

Emily Crofton · 1 May 2024
Nordica updates the Santa Ana 92 for 2025 by adding Pulse Core damping underfoot and increasing tail rocker. The ski retains strong high-speed power and edge grip on firm snow, but becomes notably more forgiving and agile. It releases easily from turns in moguls and tight terrain without demanding constant full-throttle driving. While not a pure powder tool, it offers solid versatility across groomers, bumps, and mixed soft snow.
“On-piste, this ski feels solid and reliable on edge, with enhanced dampness” (Emily Crofton)
